He Has Met the Past Week.
Christmas will soon be here, and 1t
will be time of great rejoicing: more
especially among travelling men than
any other class. for at that time every
one gets home who has home to go to.
He will come home with a heart full of
love for the wife and little ones whom
he has seen scarcely dozen times since
last Christmas. and to them it means a
whole week of pleasure, with the family
all reunited as they sit around the nome
hearth: the father relates his expert
enceS of the past year. and indeed they
are many. Exposed at all times TO hard
ship and danger, getting up at all hours
of the night to catch the train, missing
nights of sleep. riding on freight trains,
making long. cold. team trips, all 60 to
make the life of a travelling man any
thing but a life of pleasure. People
who meet the traveller on the train or at
the hotel would never think. from his
honest. jolly good nature and r0llicking
fun, that he ever knew anything but
sunshine. That is where people are
mistaken. No station in life calls for
more good, solid work. good Judgment
and hard ruStling than the life of c..
T. But all is forgotten now in the
pleasure of being home once more, a
sort of a Santa Claus TO the chill
dren and a Christmas present to
the wife. Speaking of Christmas
presents makes me think of two i'm
pOrtant events that are about to take
place in Dakota this month, and one
that will be of great Importance to the
two travelling men concerned. On Dec.

Willie gets the same kind of Christ
mas present in the shape of nice
young Devils Lake lady. The two
couples are TO meet in st. Paul on the
2Sth and together make an Eastern

ular travelling men married than these
two. Both are young, handsome and
good business men with bright future
before them. YnOt wishes them much

ANYTHING he promises can be relied on,

J. w. Bragdon. with George II. New
ell.was the victim of pretty good joke,
which made fun for a lot of the boys
who had assembled for dinner at Ada
the other day. Dinner had been served,
and Bragdon. being more than pleased
with a large, juicy steak, wished to
show his appreciation of it to the cook.
He requested the waiter TO inform her
that he would be pleased to give her a
nice kiss in return for the good dinner.
The waiter performed her mission.

BragdOn sat down.
Cliff Jacobs, with Hubbard, Spencer,
Bartlett Il Co, Chicago, spent one night
this week at GAINESVILLE. Cliff is doing
an enormous business this year and de-
serves it. for he is hard worker. His
team trip from old BarnesvIlle to new
BaTnesvIlle one day last week was very
hazardous and attended by a great

J. p. Browerancher, with a. Kelly, is
the man with unlimited gall. He makes
OSseO. AnOka and home. He has a
tongue that would do credit to female
linguist. Slick is no name for him. He
was left in Chicago once without a
friend or a dollar. He came home in a
special car. Nevertheless, he is a good
fellow. does a nice business and is the
main support of the firm.

last issues of the Tribune. You
shouldn't do it Jack. When you worked
for living we were good friends. but
good fortune always turns ones head,
and you are no exception to the rule. l

Harry Moore, Hal Hitchcock and Mr..
Fish were together on Manitoba train
clans of some note. They gave an i'll
formal matinee on the train, singing
and bone solos. The passengers were
riveted to their seats. The conductor
had to take a club to get them off at
their stations. They made more fun
than any minstrel troupe that ever
graced the boards.
F. Y. LathrOp, with J. II. Lee, Bos-
ton, is out West selling his famous

success.

company, is the jumbo travelling man.
He is five feet square, or round, and,
like all fat men. is jolly and gOOd-na-

for the virtues of anti-fat the firm could
put on the road.

Shapespeare'S poems: al least they bear
a great resemblance TO some of his late
